How To Read The Bible:
Studying Scripture may feel daunting so a simple method can be helpful. The goal
isn’t only to read scripture, but to understand and apply it. It’s not just getting into
God’s Word, it’s God’s Word getting into you. Here’s what we recommend:
WHAT IT SAYS
After you’ve read the passage, pray for guidance and paraphrase it. As you think
of different ways to rephrase what you’ve read, the Holy Spirit will begin to guide
you to a deeper understanding.
WHAT IT MEANS
Now dig deep and uncover the full meaning of the text. Go through the passage
slowly and examine specific words (words you don’t understand or intrigue you).
Ask specific questions of the text (Why did Jesus say that? Who is the audience
this was originally written to?) A Study Bible (Bible with commentary) or a study
guide (like we are providing here) will help.
WHAT I’LL DO
This is probably the most important (though difficult) part. Come up with a
specific application (i.e. something you are going to do today, a new thought you
are going to focus on throughout the day, a prayer you are going to pray now and
then again before bedtime)
